Coaching Dynamics
The Staff
The staff are Nationally Licensed Coaches with years of experience at all levels both club and recreational levels with a passion for soccer. Coerver® Hawaii our program is strictly “club neutral”. It will not be a venue for scouting or player recruitment, either by coaches or parents. We also use, as assistants and “Big Brother / Big Sister” role models, top level players who have grown up with Coerver®. As we grow we will add new trainers to the program that have completed the Coerver Youth Diploma course.
Barriers to Skills Training
Despite its importance, sustained and systematic skills training is not often found in youth soccer teams.
Many coaches – including those who may themselves have strong skills – have not learned to teach them effectively. U.S. Soccer has recently revised the state level programs for licensing coaches (the “F”, “E” and “D” courses) after discovering that candidates for the National Coaching License couldn’t teach skills. A further challenge for coaches is to have the time and space that successful skills training requires. But another barrier, perhaps the greater one, is related to increasing pressures to win more and more at earlier and earlier ages.
